When servicing bitches for customers we prefer to have the bitch in our care as early as possible during her cycle. As bitches vary in the frequency of their cycles we are cognizant of the urgency to achieve a pregnancy.
To this end we prefer to serve the bitch twice. Their ovulation point is checked with an ovulation meter daily and the point of ovulation can be determined in this manner. This is supported by the traditional colour check which can also be supplemented by a progesterone test if necessary.
Customers should recognise that, financial consideration aside - it is in our interest to have pups on the ground which is the best possible source of promotions for a stud dog. We do not charge for board while the bitch is with us, so it is in the interest of all concerned to have the bitch as early as possible.
